>Hey guys:
Ahmm...Can I give an answer too? :)
>What do you think about the lethality level of the Shadowrun combat system
>overall? This includes melee, guns, explosives, and magic.
In normal play its fine.
>If it's too lethal, why do you think it's too lethal? Too easy to stage up
>damage? Too hard to stage it down? Power too high?
It falls apart with higly cyberd or magiced types, there should be an
damage maximum to all muscle powered attacks.
A cybered troll can do more damage with his hands, sword or bow than with
an assault cannon.........
>If it's not lethal enough, again, why? Staging? Power? Damage Levels?
Even so are the lower end abit to week, under normal rules a holdout or even
a sword is useless in the hands of a weak char, or unskilled.

>too hard to get it up to an appropriate level of lethality.
Yep, true if you look at the edges of whats normal, in the middle its just
fine.
